Simple verification that the race experiment in the US is a total failure. If you think it is bad now just you wait for another 20 years. Unicorns and rainbows are not going to be at the End of this journey.

I would rather be left behind than go to where you want to take me.

Yet would anyone ever hint that because some white teens acted a fool at some event that white leaders or white people have to all focus on that incident and fix the white race or fix white people.

It continues to be true that the racial narrative in this nation is that black people need to be fixed. The black race is messed up in a way that is tied to their skin color.

This is a very old argument and way of thinking about black people.
Old, but sadly proven true everyday.

I'm not trying to take you anywhere. I don't let anyone ride my coattails to success. If you want to wallow in self pity your free to do so. But the world is changing. You can complain that the world is browner today than it was when you were born or you can put on your big boy pants and try to change things for the better...

Okay then,
I'm white -- racial profiling, stop and frisk, white police beating on blacks aren't my problem, nor is it my business.
If you're white and don't live there...not your problem.

What if whites had had your attitude during the civil rights era?????
